Antoine said the woman is an intelligent, hard working family friend who must have snapped over the last few weeks. She said her family was trying to help her, Grymes reported.

According to Antoine, she was calling the woman’s family when the patient took her jacket and left.

“I know she is not on drugs – not a violent young lady,” Antoine said.

The woman also stopped at Memorial Presbyterian church in Roosevelt before she allegedly crashed into two cars at Springfield Boulevard and South Conduit Avenue, right off the Belt Parkway, Grymes reported.

Rachel Kamau told Grymes the patient hit her car, then got out and ran. “I’m looking at her and thinking she’s going to get hit and then it dawned on me she’s wearing a hospital gown.”

It appears no one was injured during the ordeal, Grymes reported.

The woman was eventually apprehended. Her family said she’s back at the hospital under police protection.

CBS 2 reached out to the hospital but due to patient privacy regulations they were unable to provide any information.
